POCKET CONSTRUCTION.

Application filed April 19, 1924, Serial No. 707,626.

My invention is an improved pocket construction, particularly applicableto vest pockets.

The object of my invention is to provide a gripping means on the pocket,which will not disfigure, or injure the clothes.

A further object is to provide a pocket gripping means which may bereadily applied to the standard pocket, and which is not visible whenapplied.

In the annexed drawing in which my invention is illustrated:

Figure 1 is a front view of a vest with parts broken away to show myimproved 5 pocket.

Figure 2 is a front view of my pocket.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

Figure 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, with a pencil in position in thepocket.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, the usual pocket 1 ismounted in the clothes 2 in the usual manner. A stiff card plate orfibre board 3 is positioned within 2 the pocket 1. This card isapproximately the same shape as the pocket, the top being RenewedJune 1. 1926.

positioned slightly below the top of the pocket.

An elastic band 4 encircles the outside of the pocket 1, and is suitablysecured thereto. This band presses against the card or board 3 withinthe pocket, thus when a pencil or similar article is inserted into thepocket, it will be held against the card by reason of the pressure ofthe elastic band, and thus prevented from falling out.

Having described my invention, I claim:

In combination with an article of wearing apparel, an article carryingportion formed therein, said portion comprising a pocket member, a stiifplate arranged within said pocket, said plate being of substantially thesame configuration as said pocket and having its top positioned slightlybelow the top of said pocket, and an elastic member encircling saidpocket but concealed from the exterior of the article of wearing appareladapted to press said pocket against said plate.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

JAMES B. MORROW.
